Armour: Villanova win vs. UNC will be remembered as best title game ever

USA TODAY Sports' Dan Wolken gives a detailed look at Villanova's win against the UNC Tar Heels on Monday night in Houston.

HOUSTON — This Villanova team couldn’t match the perfect game.

It did the ’85 squad even better: Its game against North Carolina, the last 90 seconds in particular, will be remembered as the best national championship ever.

Maybe the best in college basketball period.

“I just think it was so exciting to watch, both teams making great plays,” Jay Wright said, still trying to process Villanova’s 77-74 victory Monday night on Kris Jenkins’ 3 at the buzzer.
